More(1) is the problem here.  I have not quite figured it out, but I had a 
similar problem when my users would type:  history | more and it would do
the same thing.  When they use history | less  it works every time.  I
really hate it when people come on and say "use this tool instead" but in
this instance, it really is the only way I was able to work around the
problem.  It is immaterial that less is better than more (IMHO), in this 
instance it makes things work.
